. Students designed the turbinemount and a safety enclosure for the engine. The use of this engine has been a low costalternative to other commercially available turbojet laboratory systems.IntroductionIt is now 65 years since the first successful flight using a jet turbine in the Heinkel He178 aircraft1. Since then, modern turbo-jets have been developed to a high level ofsophistication. During the last 15 years, model aircraft builders have also developed fullyfunctional scale versions of jet turbines2-4. In recent years the Turbine Technologies SR-30 turbojet engines have been used in mechanical engineering laboratories5-7. Anotheravailable laboratory system is the Powertek axial flow gas turbine engine. Our choice wasto purchase a lower cost
Automated Manufacturing System Integration Education: Current Status and Future Directions Sheng-Jen (“Tony”) Hsieh Dept. of Engineering Technology and Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Texas A&M University, College Station, TX1. IntroductionAutomated systems play an essential role in manufacturing, from assembling complex electronicdevices to mixing pharmaceuticals. Engineers must constantly design, maintain, reconfigure, andupgrade these systems to accommodate shifts in product design or manufacturing priorities.Their ability to rapidly complete such tasks is critical to maintaining our national economiccompetitiveness and security

The program objectiveswere developed with input from the Engineering Advisory Board, one of the constituents, andpublished in the catalog and on the department
)Mini-Baja competition project at Penn State Altoona is one example of how faculty and studentshave been addressing this need. The project is structured as a functional organization, withstudents from many disciplines (engineering, engineering technology, business, English and art)engaged in supporting vehicle design, development and testing efforts. The student team,consisting of freshmen through seniors, are grouped by functional area (vehicle subsystemdesign, documentation, marketing, fabrication and testing) and coordinated by a "directorate" ofupperclassmen. Students earn college credit for some of the activities, but the majority of theeffort is on a volunteer basis. The project provides an excellent environment for cross-disciplinary

Bostwick Indiana University Purdue University IndianapolisAbstract Several proposed ABET engineering technology criteria have roots in the affective aswell as cognitive domain. If these outcomes are assessed wholly as mental activities, measureswill be sought which determine the student’s ability to recall, comprehend, apply, synthesize,and evaluate appropriate skills. It is possible to do all of these things without demonstrating thata graduate will
rarely used in engineering faculties.Most modern courseware uses multimedia techniques to teach material. Individual users proceed through thematerial at their own pace, and can often adapt the manner or the order in which topics are learned to suit theirlearning style. Courseware is used more and more often in education, both at the pre-university level and in highereducation. Very little engineering courseware exists, however, which is unusual for a discipline that has otherwiseembraced computing technology. A subject areas best-suited to be a testing ground for CAL in engineering education is control systems. Thisis in great part due to the highly mathematical nature of the material and the need for numerical graphicalrepresentations
